My stay was OK. The front desk workers like to sleep a lot. The hotel needs to renovate badly. It has an old odor about it.

I never got any room housekeeping. I had to sleep under the same sheets and with same pillow cases for my entire stay. The view of the ocean was beautiful. The seaside bar was pleasant but the bartenders gawked at me a lot. The floors in my room were unswept. The bathroom was decorated in 60's style fixtures and design. It is a very quaint atmosphere but really is a step back in time. The restaurant was open some of the time but not for early breakfast. It was a quiet place and not many customers roaming the area. It was close to the city. My stay was OK but I would not describe it as exciting or welcoming. The room décor was very old and boring. I would tend to not recommend this as a fun hotel.

Port del Pilar is a very good place to see, then the butterfly park. I am sure there are a lot more but, I had other Cities to attend to.

Zamboanga City has it all. It was able to maintain its rich culture and traditions. The mosques, the churches and temples are testaments that it is a city with mixed religions but maintains its peace and tranquility.

Sta. Cruz Islands have the best white, pinkish beaches. Paseo del Mar boasts of its magnificent views and numerous fine dining restaurants and bars. Merloquet Falls in Sibulan are the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever laid my eyes on.
